History of Holy Trinity Anglican Church
The first church services began at Pine Lake in 1895, and were held in the homes of various people. The minister travelled by saddle horse from Olds to Bashaw – staying over and being welcomed by the settlers along the way. The church itself was approved in 1901, built in 1902 and consecrated September 6, 1903 by Bishop Pinkham of the Calgary Diocese. Most o

f the funds to build the church came from England – not from the Church of England -- but from two aunts of three young English brothers of the district, Reginald, Bertram and Henry Alford. The architect who designed the church was Mr. Wilson of Calgary and the building contract was let to Mr. Simpson of Innisfail. The land was donated by Mr. Jermyn. Gay did a great deal of the carpentry along with many willing helpers. He also made and carved the Bishop’s chair in 1907. The church was heated by a wood and coal heater supplemented with a wood burning heater located near the front. The first bell was a piece of railway rail strung on a tripod. The tower bell was purchased by subscription and hung about 1912. The first burials were those of Mr. Lawford and Mrs. Brink in 1902 before the church was consecrated. There are five Indian graves in the cemetery. Reverend Gerald Card was the first minister. The first wedding was a double wedding with two of the Herbert girls – Grace who married Bob Page and Ruth who married Arthur Pardoe on November 3, 1903. Among the original gifts given to the Church was the communion set in an oak box, donated by the Women’s Auxiliary of St. Matthew’s of Quebec in November 1904. The baptisimal font was given by Mr. H. Field. The organ was donated by Mr. Robert Page. The brass offertory plates were donated by Mr. & Mrs. Robert Milligan. The lecturn is a memorial to those who gave their lives during the First World War 1914 – 18. Holy Trinity Church had a “face lifting” in 1987 when the church was raised and a full basement was completed. In 1988 Holy Trinity was designated an Alberta Registered Historic Resource.
